Nanodisc, Inc.

Business: Nanodisc is developing nano-scale structures consisting of a phospholipid bilayer "disc" surrounded by a Membrane Scaffold Protein (MSP) "belt." The company’s current technology allows for the manufacturing of a precise population of Nanodiscs that are uniform in size, shape, and physical characteristics. This technology offers pharmaceutical researchers and developers a vastly superior way to work with "cell membrane-associated molecules," leading to advances in drug discovery, target validation, and drug delivery.
